I'm sure it would be organised so that the paper work or whatever didn't go through in time. I think it would have to be done by midday today anyway. It's not uncommon to have a clause which stops the player playing against his old club for the remainder of the season though isn't it? Or have I just imagined that?

I would imagine the deal will be concluded by then. Hopefully, there is a clause where he wont play against us tomorrow. Having said that, if it's not concluded, I would expect to see Harps in goal. That would pretty much confirm he's on his way.

Rock Radio in Manchester are reporting this as a done deal now apparently. Deal agreed at £10m with Shay reportedly on £100k/wk Don't know how true this is like.

Feel for ya mate. I'll be gutted when I lose mine. She more my cat than Mrs Paws' now. Sounds like you did the right thing though, as much as it sucks.

haha love it

So you just watch shite films then? What you on about man - it was an Oscar winning performance!

Just listened to part of his speech on the radio and something has just struck me - Obama sounds like that wrestler The Rock (they guy who played the Scorpion King in The Mummy 2) Can you smeeeeeelllllllllllllll what Obama, is cooking! Oh and before someone calls me some WWF/E freak, fuck off. I watched the Scorpion King on ITV4, thats how I spotted it

Cheers fellas - bunch of toss. Ah well, 60GB it is..... Can't understand why they won't make it backwards compatible though - I take it the original Playstation games have no chance? I think it was something to do with the cost of the chip required to run both PS2 & PS3 games. Sony are (or were originally at least) making a loss on every PS3 they sold. The cynic in my says it's so that people ditch their PS2 and switch fully to PS3. I have no such compatibility issues with my 360 - it just isn't EDIT: I should also say, the HDD is dead easy to upgrade in the PS3 - Sony even tell you how to do it on their website. IIRC, it wont invalidate your warranty either (M$ - take note at the nice console company). I know this because one of the lads in the office has done it. You can even migrate your files across to the new drive. Buy the 60gb version and upgrade the HDD - Win Win.

If I'm not mistaken (I have a 360) the 80gb version was the original and it was backwards compatible. They changed the chip in the subsequent ones which meant they weren't backwards compatible - hence no disclaimer on the 60gb model (same for the 40gb). erm, I think I have that arse about face - lol But you get what I meant. The 60gb version was the original wasn't it? Anyway, the more recent ones arent compatible IIRC

I'm currently going for the Ostrich approach and my head is firmly lodged in the sand. If I start looking at predictors and guessing results I'll probably cry. *if I dont think about it it wont happen - la la la* One game at a time......

Uncomfortably true

bbc stream wont work for me - bah!

He's a young lad finding his feet in the league. He's not had half the regular football and he still fucks up less than Taylor IYAM. Another assist on Saturday too. Totally agree. He's not perfect and he's had a fair amount of time out recently but I don't think he's quite the liability some people make out. He had good and bad spells last season (his first in the EPL remember) and he is only young. We seem to expect foreigners to fit from day one and it's a lot to expect for someone who doesn't even arrive speaking the native language. Couple this with the fact we've been shite since before he joined he's not exactly had the time to settle and adjust. We need him to be perfect all the time because of our other onfield problems but that's a bit much to ask IMO. Similar for Colo I think too. Beye has settled much quicker, but then he is a bit older and more experienced.

Yeah, and our luck is going to run out at some point. For the last few seasons we've been lucky there are teams more shit than we are.

no streams working now. I lost that fox sports right before kick off. anyone found anything that works?

Antivirus 2009 is a trojan/spyware program IIRC. You will need to download a couple of programs to clean your system. There are loads people will recommend, but I use Ad-aware and Spybot Chances are, you'll need to download these using a different PC, because those sites will be blocked by Antivirus 2009 (becase they can remove it). When you download Spybot, also download the separate updates file. Chances are, AV2009 wont let you update Spybot either. My sister in law's PC got hit by the same thing I think and that was what I had to do to sort it. Took an age too, mind you; her PC is a proper relic (the CPU in my sons Leapfrog toy is probably faster, and he's only 1). With a bit of time and perseverance you'll be ok. Oh, and buy a decent antivirus they aren't mega bucks. I use NOD32 by Eset because it has the smallest memory footprint (read: doesn't really slow your PC down) and is really highly rated. It only costs £20-£25/year (less if you pay for 2 or 3 years).

Stay at home, invite your folks over and cook for everyone you lazy bastid

You are kidding aren't you? The protest didn't make Ashley sell, the impending credit crunch and MA's need to put his money somewhere safe did man! Same goes for your comments to Pud earlier about the NUSC being able to force MA to sell the club. He doesn't give much of a shit about the NUSC, he's shown as much by not responding to any of the requests for dialogue. The NUSC can't influence his decision to sell or who he should sell too. He's not going to accept some offer just cos we all think he should. He'll sell to whoever meets his price. I don't even believe his comments about only selling to someone who'll look after the club. EDIT: I should point out that I do think the NUSC can have an impact on the club and I'm all in favour of it. The pragmatist in me just thinks MA will continue to dismiss the NUSC as some after-school club rather than using it as an opportunity to re-connect with the fans.

Hat-tastic <------------------

Got my card and the card for the bairn. Made me smile when the letter arrived addressed to him and it was his card.

Ditto. I couldn't wait to get away from them. Managed to fight my way out of my 12month contract without penalty. 8mbps speeds down to 0.1mbps - 0.3mbps most times. Truly awful. Took me months to get them to admit that they had network problems and couldn't service their customers.

Took me a couple of seconds to suss that one - Sarah Jessica Parker in the snow :

I was at pompey on Sunday and it was fuckin embarrassing in a funny sort of way....virtually everyone got their name bellowed out by our lot, even fuckin Enrique, which to be fair was warranted as he played as well as I've seen him....but poor Michael got barely a fuckin mention....Oba was having a bit of a mare, was carrying an injury for 15mins before he scored, and because of this he wasnt attempting to get the ball back when he invairiably lost the ball, and still he name was being sung from the rafters.......all after Owen had scored a goal using huge bravery (the meat in a James/Campbell sandwich?..no thanks!) and finishing superbly under immense pressure...if he does leave and turns round and says "I never felt truly accepted by the fans" it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Agree totally
